Ace going tonight! Love the earlier start times too!

Lots of roster moves today.

 

Wilkerson to the 10 day IR

Recalled Donnie Hart from AAA

Purchased contract of Jay Jackson from AAA

DFA Alex Wilson (about time)

[TURBO]

Glad Jackson will get his shot!

 

Hart = meh.

 

Bye bye Alex Wilson.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Glad Jackson will get his shot!

 

Hart = meh.

 

Bye bye Alex Wilson.

 

Part of me feels a little bad for Wilson, as he just had a kid. But professional baseball isn't a right. You need to perform, especially as a limited ceiling middle reliever. I too am interested in seeing what Jackson can do. Numbers in AAA have been good so far.

 

Agree on Hart. I'm sure he's pretty low on the potential DFA list.

Excited to see what Jackson can do. No Yelich today, going to be interesting to see how the offense fares without him. Grandal hitting in Yeli's #2 spot, and Gamel playing out in RF.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Absolutely no idea why Braun is still hitting in the three spot. I don't really have a problem with him playing four or five days a week, but the days of him being a three-hitter are way gone

[torts]

IN DAVIES WE TRUST! BOOYAH BABY! BRING IT ON!

[trwi7]

Absolutely no idea why Braun is still hitting in the three spot. I don't really have a problem with him playing four or five days a week, but the days of him being a three-hitter are way gone

 

I mean, look at the rest of the lineup. You could move Moustakas up but even that's not a great move with a lefty pitcher. After that your options are Aguilar, Perez, Gamel, Arcia and Davies. Braun may be the best option, sadly.

[TURBO]

This line-up looks pretty unimpressive. Probably means we put up double digits!!!

Monster strike zone early.

Monster strike zone early.

 

No kidding. I feel like that'll benefit Davies more, but yea...huge.

[yfinn6]

Man he needed that. I was going to say, "jesus, he needed that." which would've also worked.

[Brew crew 92]

Thought I’d never see another dinger from the big guy.

[clancyphile]

The guy who racked up OPS figures of .837 and .890 wasn't always gonna be in a rut.

 

Christian who?

[stoutdude04]

As bad as some of these guys have looked, Arcia has looked much better.

[pacopete4]

Good for Aguilar. We will need him to start against LHP. Thames can take the RHP right now though.

[yourout]

No such thing as a quick inning tonight.

Davies is getting through it but way too many pitches.

[folly412]

Davies on pace for a 198 pitch no hitter.

[yourout]

I don't think 4 is enough to win this one.

[TJseven7]

Been hoping Jackson would come up soon. Looks like Davies pitch count could throw him right into the fire.

 

WOW JESUS!!!!

[82brewcrew82]

I don't think 4 is enough to win this one.

OK

[DuWayne Steurer]

big dude gettin' off the schneid.

[TURBO]

I hope this is the start to a torrid May for Jesus!
